I saw a few instances of the referees crediting an alliance with three robots on the batter at the end lf the match when the third robot on that alliance was on the complete opposite side of the outer works (I'm not even kidding, this actually happened more than once). I can give tge referees some slack on foul calls because most of those are based on judgement but how can you even mess up the match score like that?

I'd say the best way to figure this out is to establish clear communication between Offseason Event Organizers dedicated enough to implement review systems, and intentionally use different rulesets at each, preferably picking one set to be the "control" (not sure what to use, thoughts on this?) changing one aspect we're not sure about between each event, so we'll figure out what works better in each case that way. We're already experimenting with doing video review in general, why not try to learn as much as we can?
